British Ministry of Defense Negotiates With PETA
The tall bearskin hats worn by the guards at Buckingham Palace are a tradition that goes all the way back to the defeat of Napoleon at Waterloo in 1815. Unfortunately, Britain now faces an adversary against which it is less likely to prevail: the unhinged, animal-killing fanatics of PETA:
Military chiefs are to meet with an animal rights group on Tuesday to discuss alternatives to the traditional bearskin hats famously worn by the guards at Buckingham Palace.
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (Peta) are to hold talks with Ministry of Defence (MoD) officials to put forward what they say are ethical alternatives to the 18-inch (46-centimetre) tall fur hats worn by army guards.
Peta has previously discussed fake fur alternatives with the MoD but military bosses were unimpressed by the prototypes.
Now Peta has come up with an alternative shape, but insists its design could be as famous as the traditional hats.
Squawks PETA kook Robbie LeBlanc:
We think we are a modern nation but the queen's guards are walking round with an entire dead bear on their heads.
That the Ministry of Defense feels obligated to negotiate hat designs with an animal rights cult best known for publicity stunts involving public nudity gives an idea of how firm a grip moonbattery has taken on the throat of a once mighty nation. But I can't wait to see PETA's new hat design. Something made of cabbage might set off the guards' red tunics nicely.
On a tip from Oiao.

Seems to me that liberals are the ones who always eat their own.
To negotiate with Peta is beyond the pale. Who the hell are they? What power to they wield? Why the hell does anyone give them credibility? For any government to actually sit down with them and "negotiate" makes me ill. Stand up for yourselves and tell Peta to sod off.
I can't WAIT until one of those dirty scumbags gets in my face. Hey Peta, I LOVE animals. THEY'RE DELICIOUS.

"Entire dead bears" weigh hundreds of pounds, which would preclude wearing one as headgear. Fecking PETA dipshits.

Regarding the pictures: do they have proper preparation and cooking instructions on them?

Regarding the pictures; let's hope they poked a couple of air holes for the plasti-wrapped protestors, or, let's hope they did not.

My response to those types is:
"I choose to exercise my status as THE apex predator and I laugh in the face of cholesterol"

Correct preparation of moonbat sirloin is difficult. It contains poison sacs that require the skill of a master chef to extract - sort of similar to fugu, but much more deadly if ingested.
Once the sirloin is detoxified, soak it in cologne and laundry bleach for six to eight weeks to remove the smell of patchouli and cat feces. Then mince it to a fine paste, mix with soy sauce and egg, and fry it into a moonburger.
